Sixteen Tons (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Some people say a man is made outta’ mud
A poor man’s made outta’ muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones

A mind that’s a-weak and a back that’s strong

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal
And the store boss said “Well, a-bless my soul”

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin’, it was drizzlin’ rain
Fightin’ and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol’ mama lion
Cain’t no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store

If you see me comin’, better step aside
A lotta men didn’t, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don’t a-get you, then the left one will

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store.

Sixteen Tons (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

i………..was born one morning
When the sun didn’t shine
I picked up my shovel
And i walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons
Of number 9 coal
And the straw boss said,
"well, a bless my soul"
*********chorus***********
He loaded sixteen tons
What do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. peter don’t you call me
Cause i can’t go,
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one morning when it was drizzling rain
Fighting and trouble is my middle name
I was raised in a king break
By an old mother lion
Ain’t no high talking woman gonna make me walk the line
**********repeat chorus**************
Some people say a man
Is made out of mud
A poor man’s made outta
Muscle and blood
Muscle and blood, skin and bone
A mind that’s weak
And a back’s that strong
*************repeat chorus***********
Well, if you see me comin’
Better step aside
Cause a lot of men didn’t
And a lot of men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don’t get you
Then the right one will
*********repeat chorus**************

I was born one mornin’, it was drizllin’ rain
Fightin’ and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the cane break by an ol’ mama lion
Cain’t no high-tone woman make me walk the line
(chorus)

If you see me comin’ better step aside
A lot of men didn’t, a lot of men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
And if the right one don’t get you, then the left one will
